...I AM A MAN OF VISION by Salome F Baria I am a man of vision. I dream to pursue every single strand of my aspirations. I desire to live in an atmosphere where I could enjoy my rights and privileges as a youngster, and liberty to do what I know is best for me and my generation. Thus, I have a mission. Mission to preserve my present world wherein I could satisfy my hunger and thirst for real freedom. My province Apayao is my world…my cherished place. Young ever as it is yet power packed with countless bounties. Patiently waiting for the perfect moment to be made known. Here I am! I stand and advance with much vigor and vigilance. I shall conquer the dynamo concealed within each corner of this region…for its own glory and for my advantage. Everything is perfectly beautiful in this place. The resources endowed by God. Vast mountain ranges and plains monopolized by income-generating privileges and reigned by exotic creatures. Matched by crystal clear streams and rivers inhabited by fellow living things. Oh how can I preclude myself from adoring this place? Nothing is to be compared absolutely. For from dawn to twilight, its radiance shall never fail. The culture of this place is a priceless treasure. It transcends through towns and villages and it is a unifying factor among all ages: be it young or old, fortunate and the less. Culture reflects the past, uniquely empowers the present, and foretells what life looks life ahead. It is indeed more than the tadek, baag, and...

...Examine the main trends in births and deaths in the United Kingdom since 1900 The birthrate in the UK has been in a long-term state of decline since 1900. In 1900 the birthrate in England and wales was 28.7, but by 2007 it had fallen to an estimated 10.7. However there have been three fluctuations in the birthrate of the UK, these are know as the three ‘baby booms’ in the 20th century. The First two came after the two world wars (1914-18 and 1939-45), as returning service men and their partners started families that they postponed during the war. There was a third baby boom in the 1960s before sharply declining again in the 1970s. The rate then rose in the 1980s and fell in the 1990s, it has recently increased since 2001. There were major changes in the position of women in the 20th century. In the 20th century women gained legal equality with men including the right to vote. Women now also have increased educational opportunities and girls now do better at school than boys. There are now more women in paid employment, plus laws outlawing unequal pay and sex discrimination. As well as changes in attitudes to family life and women’s role and an easier access to divorce. As a result of these changes, women now see other opportunities in life apart from the traditional role of the house wife mother. Many are choosing to delay childbearing, or not have children at all in pursuit of a career. For example in 2006 on in five women were childless at age 45, double the number of...

...Dear God, Will You Ever Give Me the Man of My Prayers? On April 23, 2007, I wrote the following in my beloved journal: Dear God, I want a Christian home. I want to raise a Christian family. One that goes to church on Sundays, is involved with the church, and prays together at night. I want a husband. I want a spiritual leader. [pic] Lord, will this ever be true for me? I want that man who prays for me, and I pray for him. I want a man that prays with me. I want a man that takes everyone to church on Sundays. Who’s involved with the kids at church. Who smiles because he’s drunk in love with YOU! Who relies on You. [pic] Lord, will this ever be true for me? I want a man who is unconditional in his ways (love, gifts, kindness, helping hand). Who doesn’t expect things in return – EVER. Who accepts the world as it is and doesn’t let it affect his walk with You. I want a man who wants to change the world. Lord, will this ever be true for me? [pic] I want a man that knows You!!! I want a man that will accept Your blessings even the small ones. A man that makes me feel like he can make a mountain out of a mole hill even if there is no dirt or rock to make one with. I want a man that is positive and understanding. A man that makes me push to be a better person. A man excited about life and looks forward to life after death. A man that has a spot in heaven and will help me in my spiritual journey. Because that’s what life is … a journey of...

...for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us." Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof. Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it." When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel." Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well. The Man Born Blind John 9:1-12 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes....

...indicated Table 1. According to the basic result, I am a mentor. There are five things that I believe describe me accurately. First, extraversion is a preference to focus on the world outside the self. The personality type shows that I am an expressive and enthusiastic man. As a dancer, I knew how to become a popular dancer, as we must own a passion and have expressive force. We must attract the audience’s attention. Second, the basic result shows that I am driven by emotion. I absolutely agree with this description, as sometimes I don’t know what should I do when I am angry. The UCL (University College London) study suggests that irrational behavior arises as a consequence of emotional reactions evoked when faced with difficult decisions. As we all know, if people are driven by emotion, they will make mistakes, which leads a terrible result. Third, intuitive people focus on the future and the possibilities. Imaginative is my personality type. In the world of words, the imagination is one of the forces of nature. I am always believed an imaginative person can get more ideas to improve the world. Fourth, I have many friends. There is no doubt that friends are the best relationship. Relationships are important to me, and I always play with my friends during weekends. Fifth, I dislike conflicts of any kind and work hard to create harmony in the team. On the other hand, there are three things that I don’t believe sound like me. First of all, I prefer to stay alone rather than be a part...

...family and I are moving to the Americas because we used to have a terrible life in Asia. I have yet to wonder or what to expect once we arrive. Although my stomach has intertwined and I am uncertain what lies ahead, for my future and my parents in America. My mind is petrified and I am too, but my heart is warm and I feel as if things will be different but conventional and abundant. I am now in America; however, in my heart I am at my roots, Asia. I am anxious to meet someone who will love me for who I am and not for where I am coming from, to be given that feeling where I feel like home. I am not aware of these American people, nor did I expect to be. My eyes deceive my mind, I have arrived at a community where I am surrounded by mindful people. In a moment as I was processing what will be my new world for as long I live; in the hope that these people will accept me. One afternoon after the day we arrived, I was walking past a crowd of people. I caught a glimpse of a beautiful man, whose name I would like to know. From his gorgeous light brown hair to deep blue eyes, and skin almost the color of pearl. He really caught my attention to the point where I thought of him every minute. I would never imagine myself with a white man whose complexion is...

Every assassination he committed, every act of menace, every instigation of destruction preyed on his mind. Though being a man of great piety and honor, it was as though in his mind he was the greatest evil of them all. A man that paraded as a paragon of virtue to be such a source of sin and respite, and not in his truest heart holding to the power of the light and just, but doing things that poison the well of conscience. Francois believed in his people and sought to provide them just retribution against the beacons of evil in the world, no matter what it...

...Introduction Yes I believe that mankind was created in the image of God. The bible tells us that God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him (Genesis 1:27, NIV). God could have chosen any other creation to make in His image but He choose man. As we look further; 1 Corinthians 11:7, tells us not to cover our heads, since we are the image and the glory of God, we should never try to hide who we are and whose we are; we are the light to this dying world and should let our light shine bright (Matthew 5:14). Our light is forever changing, we are transforming from one degree of glory to another, all in the likeness of God (2 Corinthians 3:18). God made us in his image and he commanded us to multiply; Adam (the first man) had a son, Seth, and Seth was created in Adam’s image, and because Adam was created in God’s image; God’s image was in Seth and it continues to trickle down from generation to generation to generation (Genesis 5:3). We were born in the likeness of our parents, yet we bare the likeness of man from heaven (1 Corinthians 15:49). God’s image cannot be taken away from us, even in our sin. After Adam sinned, we lost our original righteousness with God (a spiritual death), (The Essential Element of Sin). Roman 5:12 states, “sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned”. But we do not lose hope because just as one man caused us a spiritual death; God raised up one man, Jesus Christ...

...1. No I will not kill anyone to save other even if he’s hermit. We are not the one to decide who to kill or who to save. It’s in God hands. Killing is bad, therefore I will not kill one to save other five patients. In other words, I am a deontologist because deontologist said don’t kill or murder. 2. Yes I will try to save that person because he/she is innocent. I believe killing innocent is wrong therefore, I am deontologist in this kind of situation. 3. I think I will divert the trolley down the other track so it will miss the five workmen, but it will kill a single man. So I really don’t know if I am deontologist or teleological in this kind of situation. 4. I wish I can save both in this kind of situation but I think I will save a single man. As a human this is my duty so save another human. So I am teleological. 5. I will not nudge the man on the horse. Why would I sacrifices one to save another? Everyone is equal so I will not kill the man on horse to save another five. I am deontologist in this kind of situation. 6. I think I will sacrifice one of my friend to save rest of the group because if I not sacrifice one then they will kill all of us so I am teleological in this situation. 8. I will lie to them to save those Jewish people, even though lying is wrong. Lying for something good is not really lying. I am deontologist in this situation. 9.

I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something. Jesus: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too. Man: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time. Jesus: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it. Man: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat. Jesus: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with. Man: Tell me, why has life become complicated now? Jesus: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated. Man: why are we then constantly unhappy? Jesus: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy. Man: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty? Jesus: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional. Man: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. Jesus: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer...

...In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question: “What kind of man are you looking for?” She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye & asking, ‘Do you really want to know?’ Reluctantly, he said,”Yes.” She began to expound… “As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you do for me that I can’t do for myself? I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man…or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, ‘What can you bring to the table?’” The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought & stated, “I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for excellence in every aspect of life.” He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, & asked her to explain. ...

...MAN OF EARTH Pliant is the bamboo; I am man of earth; They say that from the bamboo We had our first birth. Am I of the body, Or of the green leaf? Do I have to whisper My every sin and grief? If the wind passes by, Must I stoop and try To measure fully My flexibility? I might have been the bamboo, But I will be a man. Bend me then, O Lord, Bend me if you can. (1932) First impression: On my first reading, I had the impression that the speaker in the poem totally submits to the folk legend of Malakas and Maganda coming out whole from a bamboo afloat at sea and pecked open by a huge bird, as our possible origin of life. And because of that, the speaker is convinces us that we should emulate the flexibility and resilience of the bamboo that gave birth to our race no matter what tragedies may come our way. God is with us anyway. But after several thinking and re-thinking of the poem’s point, I’ve got second thoughts. I remember Prof. de Veyra telling us of “unpacking the ideas in the poem by looking at its details and images as closely as possible.” True. Now, I speculate. What does these first two lines in the opening stanza: “Pliant is the bamboo;/ I am man of earth;/” really suggest? How about lines 5-6: “Am I of the body,/Or of the green leaf?/” And what does the really saying in the last stanza when he writes, “I might have been the bamboo,/ But I will be a man./ Bend me then, O Lord,/ Bend me if you can.//” Is the speaker...
